Public Storage (PSA) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $336.63 the price implies FFO a share growing 5.8% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 6.5% a year over the last ten years, 10.5% over the last five. The price asks for close to its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 4.7%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 7.1% a year; Public Storage went on to grow FFO a share 6.6% a year to FY2025.

FFO a share is worked out from Public Storage’s 10-Ks and 10-Qs: net income, plus the depreciation of its property and impairments, less gains on property sales.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Its assumptions

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · FFO a share
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 5.8% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Advanced inputs

Against Public Storage’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.90 × equity premium 4.5% = 8.4% cost of equity; weighted, 8.4%.

PSA trades at 25.51× P/FCF, against a 10-year average of 23.42× (range 17.60×–32.89×). That is dearer than 89% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $309.08 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
